Mary Gazes Off on Set During Season 5 Filming

Looking lovely as always, Lady Mary pauses during filming. Remember this time last year when she was wearing nothing but black? It’s so refreshing to see her in brighter colors!

Lord Grantham and his eldest daughter take in the air as they walk the village. Robert’s beloved dog Isis is just off to the right. Also, handy to know how far away Ripon and Thirsk are, right?

Tom looks somber as he leans against a wall during Season 5 filming. Could he be waiting for love interest Sarah Bunting (Daisy Lewis), the village schoolteacher, or does he have something up his sleeve? Perhaps renovations for Downton if that paper in his hand is any indication.

Well, if it isn’t Lord Merton (Douglas Reith). We hoped we’d be seeing him again after the attention he paid Isobel at the tail end of last season. Perhaps there’s hope for an Isobel romance yet. Sorry, Dr. Clarkson!

Downton Abbey Season 5 Spoiler Photos: The Cast Films in the Village!

Our wait has paid off, fellow Downton Abbey fans!

Though filming on Season 5 has been underway since before the last installment aired in the U.S. back in February, photos from the set have been few and far between. We’ve seen a couple courtesy of new character Simon Bricker (Richard E. Grant) but show creator Julian Fellowes has since laid down the law on what can and cannot be tweeted from set. Horrible, right?
